28 Candles Blog Hop

Update:  I am entering this card in a challenge for My Creative Time.  Using Don Juan Cartridge and incorporating the color blue.

Welcome to the 28 Candles Blog Hop! You should have arrived here from the talented and my wonderful friend Liz over at WhichCraft.  If you just happened to stumble up on my blog or are just stopping by to say hi, you may want to start the blog hop over at Kimi's and Pam's from Lovebug Creations.  There are many talented ladies involved in this hop and you don't want to miss any of their creations!

Today is all about celebrating one of my special friend's birthday.  Kimi from Lovebug Creations is celebrating her 28th birthday and she has invited some of her friends to celebrate with her.  I am so thankful for Kimi!  Her an I met through Michelle from Scrappin with My Bug and she gave me an opportunity to participate in my first blog hop.  Since then, it has been all fun and games with her.  I'm so thankful to have met her and to honestly call her a friend! 

For her birthday I made her this card:

Unopened



Front - open




Back - open

I used the Don Juan cricut cartridge, Pink by Design Take the Cake stamps, Peachy Keen Stamps princess face assortment stamps, Erin Lee Creative's My Favorite Things paperstock (blue), Creative Memories cardstock, DCWV birthday green paper. This is the first time that I created an accordion card.  It was a lot of fun to make and I hope my friend Kimi enjoys it! 

Do you think this is it?  Well............SURPRISE KIM!!!! Guess what? there's more than one more project! Look at this cute shadow frame I made for you!  I hope you enjoy it as well!!!  You should be getting both of these projects in the mail soon! ;-)



In the shadow box



Better picture out of the shadow box (no glare, need to practice with that!)

added a little dimension

For the layout, I used a  pattern cardstock from the DCWV Green Stack collection, the celebrate background from KI Memories, the solid cardstock is from DCWV Citrus cardstock collection.  I also used the Joy's Life Wild Life Puns Stamp Collection and the bird is from Imagine Best Friends cartridge.  I embellished it with some layered flowers, stickles and a little bling. 

Now what's a blog hop without some blog candy? Sarah over at Pink Cricut has graciously offered to sponsor this hop for me.  Here's what you can win:

This is the Grow stamp of the month and it retails for $27.99.  I personally love her stamp of the month and to be able to offer this as blog candy is great!  All you have to do is leave a comment below.  You don't need to be a follower, but I would love for you to do so! :)  The blog hop will be going through April 18th which gives you time to go through all the blogs.  I will pick a winner on April 20th to give a little extra time.

Now head on over to the fabulous Erin at SpantastiKreations to see what she has created! Happy Hopping and God Bless!
